Telegraph & Messenger. SUNDAY MORNING. DEO. Jt. 187 Auornrj (lenorMl InriOHSS letter Conwy. Hi* id** U»* to* Radical* failed to run a oandidate in this But* again* Smith, simply Meats** it *a* a bop*l«a* buainee*. Xfc* ad- mlnieiratioo in W»: hiDgton favored running a candidate. and Mr. Farrow himself, aa well as moat of the leading minds of the party, ware in favor of contesting the • lection ; bat the on* Idea tMt It would only result in disastrous de feat, stems to have prevented it, and then the Kadioal flatten* fell back, as a makeshift, on the ridiculous pretence set np by the acting Gov ernor that the election was nneooatitntional. We submit to that party that this ia not ex aetly a candid way of dealing with public question*, and If Iboy are going to reform and lead a naw life, aa Mr. Farrow proposes, they should not hare started ont ia their r*gene**ted career with a mere dishonest pretence, which it i* virtually ooufeaaed would not have been set up but for the fact that they could not hope to defeat the Democracy in a popular contest. This thing ia not caJenlated to inspire respect and confidence, and it plaooa acting Gov. Con ley in a very invidious position. Is it possible that ha will confute and embarrass the pnblie administration of the State by a factious effort to bold on to office, when it ia evident few or none of the intelligent men of hi* party really believe the special election unoonatitnUmalf We trust ha will think better of it. Hr. Hill Nets Illmurll ItlRht. We published a day or two since, a paragraph clipped from the Atlanta correspondence of the Chronicle and Sentinel, charging Hon. B. H. Hill with being ad interim Conley's counsellor in affsirs of State. We expressed, at the time, grave doubts as lo the correctness of this charge, and added the hope that Mr. HiU would put the matter beyond dispute over bis own signa ture. This he has done in the Atlanta Consti tution of yesterday, in whieh he declares that Conley is a stranger to him—that he has navsr been In C.'a presence but twice in bis life, and that bia counsel has never been sought by Con ley on any question. Upon the subjects of the gubernatorial elec tion, the genera] situation in Georgia now, the character of the present General Assembly, and of the Governor jnat chosen, Mr. Hill writes as follows: 1 watched with very great interest and even anxiety the temper and setion of the General Assembly, Just sjourned, during the first two voeka of iu session. Since then, a few days excepted, I have been absent from the city at tending the courts. I became fully satisfied a wiser and mors patriotic Legislature never as sembled in the Bute. Thus far it has won a tide to the confidence sod gratitude of the people. Its brief, but noble, true and manly roport npon onr Federal relations nienta the unqualified, gratified and even grateful approval of all good citizen*. Whatever may have boen my own opinion or the opinion of others, upon tbn legal abstract question of the poster of the General Aaaom ■ bly to order a special election t o lake rff ct npon a vacancy in the executive office which had oc curred before the set was passed, can make no difference now. Tbo General Assembly had the right lo determine that question. They did detenuino'it. It involved only the construc tion of the Htatc Constitution on a question only of legislative power affecting only Slate interest and policy. Tbo gentleman chosen by the people under the sot lo fill the nnexpired term I know well. He ia a wise, discreet and safe man. Ho will exocnto the laws faithfully and impartially upon all eitixena. lie will do nothiug ultra or revolutionary, and bn will respect and obey the Constitutions of Ihe United States and the State of Georgia as he finds them. There can, therefore, be no possi ble justification for Federal interference, and I hope and believe there will bo none. A Fonrliil Commentary on tlio t lill- ly «>l Foreign .MlHsIonury Work. The Conrier- Journal in commenting npon the ease of the parricide Ware who was bung in New Jersey a few days since, rightly adda that there was a terrible emphasis in almost the last words ihe wretched rrealnro uttered on Ihe scaffold: "If I had ever reeeived half ihe attention be fore I got into prison that I have sinoe, I never would have been here.” Ilia life and that of the whole family was one of dignaliog brntalily, squalor. Ignorance and Inst that would have disgraced a Hottentot kraal,whereas it was spent in a pleasant New Jersey village, hardly an hoar's ride from either New York or Philadel phia. He knew nothing of religion; the name of Jams, was only familiar aa adding emphasis to an oath, and the mysteries of revelation were aa unknown to him aa the language of the Tab mad. When asked if be believed in Christ, he said, "I don't believe in Jeans; I don't know nothing about him," and with these words fresh on hit lips he was sent to bi* account. And yet we oontribnte onr hundreds of thonaandato the oanae of foreign mission*. Boom's One Term Resolution proposes to go into effect in 1873. The Senator aaja he did not wish to interfere with personal preference* for the next term. The passes* of the resolu tion, however, would place the Grant men in a strange position—that of admitting the mis chievous consequences of dust terms, but nev ertheless proposing to tolerate them some time longer In respect to the personal .anxiety of General Grant for a renewal of bia official lease. It may be donbted whether the reeolntion will go through under the oironmatanoes, although probably the judgment of the oonntry would un done tt. Few will doubt that the polioy of this administration has been shaped altogether by mere loat for re-election. Naw Law Fun.—'We inadvertently omitted, yeeteiday, to direot attention to the card of Blount A Hardeman, a new legal firm that baa jnat been eatabliahed in this city. The senior of the firm hat been a resident of Maeon some months, and ia oonnted among onr moat active, enterprising young citizens and rising lawyers. The junior, Col. Isaac Hardeman, late of OUn- ton, ia a worthy ooadjntor of onr friend Blount. We have known him sinoe the halcyon days of oolleg* fan and frolio when he was a studious, promising youth, and ever sinoe, and always hoard a good report of him. What he is now, and how he stands aa a lawyer, ia well known in this section. We call this a steady team with vim enough for any pall, and aa such we welcome it to the honorable roll of Maoon's law firms. Count** Tnnon uo Liatmoxo.—We have a wide range of temperature in theee United State*—for while printing aeoonnte of weather below zero in the West, we are chron icling to-day thunder and lightning in Macon. There was a good deal of both yesterday after noon, and one shower whieh is not often equaled in the oouree of the year in the amount of wa terfall in sueh a length of time. The flood eo copious that the water stood in the streets lika a lake. They did not drain as fast as th* water f*IL Tax IxTQrrrom Oottox Tax.—We saw a peti tion, yesterday, whieh ia reedy for signature* here, asking Congress to refund this iniquitous tax. W# understand a strong effort will be made to have this tax refunded during the pres ent aaaaion of Congress, but we have little faith initasnooeaa It will do no harm, however, to try what can be done, and signing the petition is little or no trouble. The petition can be found at the offio* of the Southern Express Company ia tbia city. Tax Constitution blame* ns for making n brief synopsis of some public doeumsate whieh appeared originally ia its eoltunns without ered- ittag the lieu and figures mentioned to that paper. W* had no idea of doing injustice to that paper, o* that any credit would be due or aeeeptod under th* circumataaoee. There was, in fact, not a Un* itksn from documents in question. ATUxno axo Masnmm.—Senator Pries $ md* ns a copy of the memorial to Congress by the Governor and Legislators, In behalf of the Atlantic and Mississippi eaaat, which aaks for a donation of land or a loan of the credit of it 0 Government. There should be earnest efforts to enlist the whole West in this movement, mud no doubt it can be done with proper exertions. Soctw CaaeuXA Arraihs.—We copy to-day from tt leading Baptist paper in New York City, s very striking presentation of the condition of Booth Carolina, from the pen of the Rev. Dr. Winkler, of Charleston. It is difficult to read that clear statement of aflsirs in our sister Bute with the some calmness which has been maintained by the disUfignised writer. t itRisrriAs holiday*. No Paper Till Wctnewlayr Mnrulufl. Our usual Tuesday morning's Taumaara will not appear this weak, nor probably on the week following, on account of the holidays. We are entitled to at least two days out of the holidays, and they both occur on Monday, and the fact that, on both these days, there will be a general suspension of trade, a* well aa political business, throughout the world, would leave little at nothing in the way of news to oommnnieato to the reader, at best. Barring accounts and there will be, therefore. imiHsg to tell, and the printer with his lens laborious fellow mortals, can intermit for day in each week the eternal round of day and night labor, which leaves him very little time in the whole 36J days for social enjoyment or even intercourse with lua own family. The daily paper is the moat oonfining and exhaustive of ail pnnroits. Moat of ns probably dose (he year nnder cir cumstances of great depression. The past has disappointed ns and the future ia unpromising. The hilarities of Christmas will be restrained and modified, in apito of ourselves, by present embarraament or future apprehension; but it ia well to remember that apprehensions generally outrun realities, and in such a time aa this, the w<tT»A is thrown off its balance and a sort of mental contagion pervades all cIsaac*. We question, whether in the vast majority of eases, great fluctuations of trade are not in reality due in n more important degree to mental de pression than to any other cause. Defeat bring* universal discouragement and discouragement begets n careless and apathetic condition. When the publie mind reacts, activity revive* without any apparent adequate material change in the condition. Not alone are the Southern and cotton growing States laboring just now un dur this depression, bat it to not worse here than in the great commercial centres. Trade to said to be “dead" in New York, and it to not aa bad aa that in Macon. By and by, probably within a month or so, {though the wise acres all prophecy the oppo site) the people will wake up again, and begin to find ont that the ease to not so bad as they thought it. Trade will revive, and the spirit of enterprise blaze np again all over the country. The harvests are generally abundant—food cheap—the supply of money to ample, if it be turned loose—and there is no especial reason why trade shonld be "dead." Even in Georgia, the ootton crop will bring not far from *s much money aa that of last year, while the transfers of goods have been very light, and the indebt edness is much smaller. We think trade mask revive, so soon as the cotton reserves of the planters are parted with. Meanwhile we are all learning valaablt lessons of economy and management whieh in the fntnre will be im proved to the general peenuiaty benefit. Let ns, then, borrow no over-bnrden of trouble and anxiety during these holidays, bnt throw off rare and join heartily in the innocent festivities of the season, resolved, if trouble comes, to meet it with nudauoted hearts—ener getic industry and clear consciences. We bid onr traders, one and all, a merry Christmas. TUc Ministry ou Hie Increase. Two of onr clerical friends and former pas tors are rejoicing nnder the advent to the one, of a splendid ten ponnd boy, and to the other of a brace of the same sort. These little sprigs of divinity, we are happy to learn, are all doing well. We won't particularize as to the color of the eyes, tho shade of the hair (if they have any), and the peculiar accomplish ments of tho little innocents, because minister's wives are still mortals; and we love peace and quiet. This, however, we feel called npon to do. These excellent men of God have given another tonching exemplification of their faith in the promise of Holy Writ, that the seed of the right- cons shall never lack for bread. It required Ihe devotion of aFanl, to attain to such a meas ure of tnbiime confidence in these days of home steads *rd sad moral declension. What, then, is the obvious duty of their respective churches? It is to abjure parsimony in their treatment of God'* servants, and give freely and munificently to the families of their beloved pastors. Let them give and keep giving, until they really feel that they are making a sacrifioe to God. Then will the coveted blessing come from on high, like tbepreeions dews of Uermon, and tho oil that ran down npon Ihe beard of Aaron. We tell onr readers that spiritual lean ness, temporal reverses, the goadings of troubled conscience, and that general tin rest whieh to inseparable from neglected doty, will attach to those who keep back the hire of the laborious soldiers of Ihe cross. The life of ihe faitbfnl man of God, is a constant scene of toil and sacrifice. Added to mental labor, always great and unceasing, to the terrible responsibility of bearing npon his soul tho immortal interests of a great congrega tion. Woe to me, he exclaims, if I preach not the Gospel, yet how ran I bear the burdens of this people, and what can I do for their salva tion ? The inquiry causes sleepless nights and an agony of apprehension. Bnt let it bo remembered too, that the set tled pastor to cut off from all secular means of support, and to expeotod also to lead the chari ties of the church. For him there to no pros pect of retiring in old age to enjoy his otium cum dignitate npon the frnite of his industry. On the oontrary, with an aching heart be sees gaunt famine staring bia little ones in the face, when tbier sainted father shall deep his tost sleep, and nothing bnt the blessed promise, “I will not leave yon oomfortlesa,” sustains his sinking heart. Think of this, ye prosperous merchants, rich banker*, thriving mechanics, and substantial farmers. Grudge not a portion of yonr eubxtanoe to tho devoted paster who to with yon in sunshine and shade, at the mar riage altar and in the death scene, and whose prayers ever aaoend like fragrant inoense in yonr behalf. God loveth the cheerful giver, and the liberal tool shall be made fat. The above remarks are not intended alone for the latitude of Cathbert and CarterariUe. They apply to every church and oongregation in this broad land. Let every one then bid hia minister a happy Christmas, and leave at the parsonage some tangible testimonial of good will and appreciation. It will make many hearts rejoice, and oanae you to exclaim it to more blessed to give than to restive.

Mr. John Wiioox, of AngraU, was killed on Friday by the accidental discharge of hia gun. Tbo Atlanta San, of yesterday, says: Foster Blodgett ia eternally disgraced—even in the estimation of hia aeoomplioes in crime. The Grand Jury found a true bill against him last summer. He gave bond for hia appearance at ooort. He went away, pretending to be looking after a seat in the Senate, bnt, no doubt, to keep ont of the clutches of the tow. Hi* bond was declared forfeited at the Ute sea- sum of the Superior Court in this city, and a bench warrant for hia arrest to now in the hands of the sheriff. Besides this, the Grand Jury last week found another true bill against him. And the Constitution, of Friday, says; Um CouraXT Srocr axd Gold Boxes.—Col. G. W.

From whieh we infer that the little perjurer has eatewampooaly collapsed, pecuniarily, at wall a* politically.

The Columbus Sun, of Friday, reports a gen ersl jail delivery at Seals Station, Russell (mon ey, Ala., last Wednesday, by which eight negro prisoners got away, two of whom were subse quently recaptured. They used the jailor, Mr. Joraea Waddell, pretty roughly before getting away. The Son, same date, also makes the follow ing report: A CowanDLT asd Bbutau Robbkht.—On the 15th of this mouth, (last Friday) Mr. Americas II.

Mr. James H. Barnett, of Sparta, died last Thursday, aged 83 yean. The up night passenger train from Savan nah for Angnsta, ran over a drove of males about fonrteen miles from the latter city, Fri day morning.

A special meeting of the Georgia Railroad directors was h< M at Angnsta, on Friday, which was also attended by President Wadlty and Messrs. Lawton and Gilmer, directors of the Central Railroad. The Chronicle and Sentinel, of Saturday, gives ns the rumored explanation of what was the object of the meeting, the transfer by the Georgia Railroad to the Cen tral, of all its interest in the Western Railway, of Alabama, in consideration of a large sum of money, the object of the trade on the part of the Central being to prevent the transfer of the Georgia Road's interest in the Alabama Road to the Penaylvania Central, whieh hi* been ne gotiating for it. 48,37060 10.50000 350,000 00 6,350 00 169 205 06 4.30515 135.000 00 3.135 00 Dividend Central Rail road tide day 350,000.00 Government tax on the 6,35000 168,464 00 1,31100 Dividend Macon and Western Railroad in July Government tax on the Dividend Southwestern Railroad this day....
